The Trustees, who are directors for the purpose of company law, present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The following directors have held office since 1 April 2024 (unless stated).
The Bytes Project is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 28 April 1993, and registered with the Charity Commission Northern Ireland on 21 September 2016. It is governed under the company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Governance is exercised by the Trustees, who voluntarily contribute senior experience from commerce, industry, civil service, academia, and community service. New Directors are appointed following an assessment process and receive induction on the strategic plan and financial activities.
The charity’s beneficiaries are children and young people. Public benefit is demonstrated through increased knowledge, skills, qualifications and employability; strengthened self‑esteem and confidence; and improved progression into education, training and employment. Evidence of these benefits includes:
Attendance at Youth Hubs (unique participants and average weekly reach).
Completion and feedback from programmes and accredited learning.
Completion of creative technology projects and participant feedback.
The Charity’s Objects are the following:
to advance education by providing basic training in information technology, video and audio production, electrical and mechanical design and manufacture and related activities to persons aged 14-25 who have little or no formal education qualifications (hereafter referred to as trainees) and in particular;
to enable children and young people to develop a sense of achievement and self-esteem and to encourage and support them towards employment and educational opportunities;
to provide basic training in digital technology and work to reduce the digital divide in NI;
provide regional support to other charities delivering youth services for the benefit of children and young people by providing regional support. The support will focus on curriculum, workforce development, governance and representation.
Strategy
Our vision and mission are:
Vision / Purpose: Young people transform their world for good.
Mission: Each year we will ensure that over 3,000 young people access digital technology in communities of promise.
Our new strategy from 2021-24 has named four pillars to drive our work:
Youth Voice
Youth Empathy
Youth Digital
Youth Places
In April 2023, we refined them to:

Digital
We continued to strengthen our digital infrastructure and services.
Digital Inclusion
PA Foundation: The digital upskilling programme, funded by The PA Foundation, is designed to provide young people with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in today's digital world. Participants have learned about various digital tools and technologies through workshops, hands-on training, and mentorship. The programme aims to bridge the digital divide and create opportunities for young people to excel in their careers.
Santander: In 2023, we secured three years of funding from the Santander Foundation to support our digital upskilling and leadership initiatives. The programme's emphasis on digital financial literacy ensured that participants understood online transactions, digital banking, and financial management tools comprehensively.
Digital Infrastructure
Tech Secure is The Bytes Project’s evidence-based response to the persistent digital infrastructure and cybersecurity gaps facing Northern Ireland’s community and voluntary sector (CVS). Delivered through our social enterprise subsidiary, Bytes Digital Innovation Ltd, and developed with NICVA, Kero (SME technical partner) and Reconome (circular economy devices), the pilot was funded by Innovate UK and independently evaluated by Stats & Stories (July 2025). Our baseline assessments confirmed widespread risks across small charities—unmanaged devices, weak access controls, outdated software and network vulnerabilities—against a policy backdrop where Northern Ireland lacks a direct equivalent to the Cyber Local funding currently available to organisations in England.
The project implements a three-stage model—Assess, Fix & Standardise, Upskill—to create durable digital resilience. Across four charities, we established 4 Microsoft 365 Business Premium tenancies, upgraded 26 devices to fully managed Windows 11 Pro, deployed 32 user accounts with 100% multi-factor authentication, and introduced a standardised security stack with 24/7 monitoring and automated patching. Post-training evaluation shows staff self-ratings at 100% “excellent/good” for cybersecurity, collaboration, data & information management, and software skills; AI awareness increased to 91%, and “accessing IT support” to 90.9%. Organisations progressed to Cyber Essentials compliance, moving from reactive, high-risk IT to managed, auditable environments that protect data and enable productivity.
Looking ahead, the future of Tech Secure is being sustained through our social value partnership with Fujitsu, which is supporting us in maintaining the service with four CVS organisations. At the same time, we build a scalable operating model with Kero and NICVA. To close the systemic gap and reach many more charities, we recommend that the Department for the Economy invest in the CVS through a targeted programme modelled on the Cyber Local approach in England—leveraging social value and SME delivery to standardise secure infrastructure, upskill staff and reduce regional cyber risk. This aligns directly with the Economic Vision’s priorities on productivity, skills, innovation, and regional balance, and would convert a proven pilot into sector-wide resilience.
Future developments in Digital (2025–26)
LMS — Move from Learn Dash to Moodle.
CRM — Salesforce is in place, which will better map our impact based on our new outcomes framework.
Voices for Impact – continue to roll out and develop through SEUPB funding.
Plans for future periods (2025–26)
Consolidate and enhance the quality and reach of Youth Hubs through evidence‑led programming and partnership working.
Strengthen workforce capability, wellbeing and leadership through continuous professional development and accredited training.
Scale digital inclusion and creative technology programmes; expand LMS content; progress CRM build, subject to funding.
Deepen data and insight capability (outcomes, progression, destinations) and publish accessible impact reporting.
Engage constructively in sector reform discussions and cross‑departmental partnerships to improve outcomes for children and young people.
Grow the scope of our two new subsidiaries.
The Trustees maintain a strategic risk register as a standing Board agenda item. Principal risks include:
Funding volatility and cash‑flow risk.
Workforce capacity, recruitment/retention, and well-being.
Safeguarding and quality assurance.
Data protection/cyber security
Estates/health & safety and business continuity.
Mitigations include: diversified funding development; accredited training and supervision; safeguarding policies and escalation procedures; data and cyber controls; documented operating procedures; and regular Board assurance.
The results are set out on pages 13 to 24. The Bytes Project returned net expenditure for the year of £86,243 (2024: £17,248) which comprised a net unrestricted deficit of £86,271 and net restricted surplus of £28.
At the year end unrestricted reserves amounted to £571,947 of which £264,207 was designated towards fixed assets leaving free reserves of £307,740. During the year the charity purchased premises at a cost of £231,000 plus associated outlays of £3,327. While the expenditure was funded from free unrestricted reservices the asset provides security to support the charity's operating cashflow facilities. Restricted funds at the year end amounted to £97,721 of which £41,847 was designated towards fixed assets.
The unrestricted funds are essential to supply sufficient funds to cover any unforeseen costs which may arise and fulfil the legal obligations of the charity if current levels of income are not maintained. The charity’s reserve policy is to hold cover in line with the recommendations of the Charity Commission in Northern Ireland. For 2025-26 the Directors aim to retain at least 6 months operating costs in reserve which would be just over £565k. Our free reserves at year end amounted to £307,740.
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Bytes Project for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
We, the Directors of the company who held office at the date of approval of these Financial Statements, as set out above, each confirm so far as we are aware, that:
There is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware; and
We have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken as directors in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditors are aware of that information.
On behalf of the board
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Bytes Project (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
the information given in the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
As explained more fully in the statement of directors' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
the nature of the activities and sector, control environment and performance;
results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the charitable company's documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
– the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team and relevant internal specialists where necessary regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the charitable company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and Taxation Legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
As a result of performing the above our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of terms of funding, relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with HMRC;and
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, including internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
This report is made solely to the charity members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
The Statement of Financial Activities has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.
There is no other comprehensive income to report for the financial year.
The Bytes Project is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office and principal office is 297 Antrim Road, Newtownabbey, BT36 5EG, Northern Ireland. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are given in the directors' report on page 3 of these financial statements.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition - October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. All income arose wholly in the United Kingdom.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. The majority of costs are directly attributable to charitable activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, human resources, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated against the expenditure on charitable activities.
The charity has different types of funds for which it is responsible, and which require separate disclosure. These are as follows:
(a) Restricted funds - Funding received which can only be used for a specific purpose as determined by the funder. Such purposes are within the overall aims of the organisation and are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
(b) Unrestricted funds - Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the directors in the futherance of the objectives of the charity. In addition the funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Operating creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Operating creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
The company is a registered charity and is not liable to tax on funds generated from activities within the scope of the charitable exemptions.
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Pension contributions in respect of the scheme for employees are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The assets are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Differences between the amounts charged in the income and expenditure account and payments made to pension funds are treated as assets or liabilities.
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
The average monthly number of employees during the year was:
No director received any remuneration or were reimbursed expenditure from the charity during the current or previous year.
Incoming resources
Resources expended
